Exit Fan Label Strike
A multi-line side branch (Salmon) fed only from the section boundary sits off the trunk and exits right past a wide trunk-sibling label (BEDTools genomecov). It rides its own track and turns up late at the exit port, so its riser clears the label rather than raking through it mid-section.
